lol!! I guess people will be people. Reminds me much about India. Aaah...bribery... what a thorn......

Anyways....wonderful pics Soopa. LOL to that bird btw. Did u tempt it with morsels or was it tempted by the prospect of nesting material on your head? lol!!

Keep the pics coming. Just fantastic.

The bird from what we deduced was a young bird. It sat in kyle's head and made "feed me" calls. It even ate like a baby bird. We had to put food into its mouth for it to eat. In fact it didn't want to leave. We finally had to put it in a tree.

i missed a LOT! O.O

DARN NOT CARRYING ENOUGH BATTERY PACKS!

 

[lizasaur]

Omg, yay, more pictures!
I do hope there's more?!
Gosh, they're so nice!!

See, this is why I like perspective. Yalls went to the same place and no one got identical pictures. Which super expands the amount of beauty presented to us.
Although frankly there's not enough cameos of Jon... /creep

Now I wouldn't mind having that species of stinkbug too much in my house.

friend told me that the yellow utric is possibly mis-IDed....he narrowed it down to either Utricularia pusilla, or U. nigrescens.
